The Gladiators from the hit show Scandal are reuniting to support Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz on their Fighting for Reproductive Freedom Bus Tour in Michigan. The cast, including Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn, will join hundreds of supporters and volunteers to emphasize the importance of reproductive freedom in the 2024 election. The tour has already made 50 stops in key states and will continue to lay out the stakes for abortion rights and IVF access.
The Scandal reunion follows the actors’ appearance at the Democratic National Convention, where they surprised the audience with an onstage appearance. The hit show, which aired a groundbreaking abortion episode in 2015, changed the narrative around the topic for broadcast television. Kerry Washington has also been involved in the 2024 election, hosting nights at the DNC and emphasizing the importance of building a future where everyone understands their voice and power within our democracy.
The bus tour will continue to travel across Michigan, highlighting the differences between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, who support protecting Roe v. Wade, and their opponents who aim to restrict abortion rights. Abortion and reproductive freedom have taken center stage in the 2024 election, with Harris vowing to restore reproductive freedom nationwide and her opponent refusing to commit to vetoing a national abortion ban if reelected. The Gladiators’ reunion is just one example of Hollywood stars becoming involved in the political landscape and advocating for important social issues.
